Gilbert K. Chesterton

English - Writer May 29, 1874 - June 14, 1936

With the author

Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

Americans call them hillbillies, rednecks, or white trash. I call them neighbors, friends, and family.

J. D. Vance

Howie Mandel is my favorite. He's so friendly, and he's a family man. For a lot of celebrities, to keep a genuineness about them, I think, can be tough, but he really seems to work hard to do that.

Theo Von

Equal pay isn't just a women's issue; when women get equal pay, their family incomes rise and the whole family benefits.

Mike Honda

We spend to pretend that we're upper class. And when the dust clears - when bankruptcy hits or a family member bails us out of our stupidity - there's nothing left over. Nothing for the kids' college tuition, no investment to grow our wealth, no rainy-day fund if someone loses her job.

J. D. Vance

We all have friends and family who see one path for us, and we go a different path, and it's not necessarily what they would have wanted.

Colin Donnell

I will fight to the last breath, even though my family cowers in terror in the palace.

Ferdinand Marcos
